Payment Policies

Every student participating in an EESA program is required to make the following
payments:

Application Fee: $150 non-refundable application fee is required with every
application before an application can be reviewed. Once admitted, you will receive
an acceptance letter with pertinent program information.

Confirmation Deposit: After you receive your confirmation letter, you must submit a non-refundable
confirmation deposit to secure your place in the program: $600 for a semester,
$1,000 for a year, or $500 for the summer program. The confirmation payment
must be received by EESA no later than 14 days after you receive your
acceptance notification or by the application deadline, whichever is first. If
you want to take advantage of the Early Confirmation Discount, the deposit must
be submitted before that deadline. Read more

Final Payment: The balance of the fees shall be
received no later than June 1st for the following fall semester,
December 15th for the following spring semester, or May 1st
for the summer program. These are also final withdrawal dates.

Late Fees: Any payments received after the final payment due dates will be
subject to a $200 late fee plus a 5% monthly charge on any unpaid balance. Students
may obtain a payment date deferment approval from EESA by submitting Financial
Aid Disbursement Form and/or the Payment Plan Form before the final payment due
date.

Students
should consult with their campus study abroad office, their advisor and a
financial aid office to learn their school’s policies for transferring
financial aid and paying for student’s term abroad. Although most schools
handle financial payments on student’s behalf, ultimately, it is student’s
responsibility to make sure all programs fees are paid in full and on time.
Potential consequences of non-payment are late fees, dismissal from the program
and forfeiture of all deposits.

Refunds

EESA
makes advance payments for tuition, housing, and other expenses on behalf of
admitted students long before their study abroad term starts. Therefore,
application fees and confirmation deposits cannot be refunded. Partial refunds of
program fees may be allowed under unforeseen circumstances (such as a serious
illness or an emergency out of student’s control). Students who submit their
cancellation to EESA in writing before the program withdrawal deadline are
eligible for a refund of recoverable fees, minus the application fee and confirmation
deposit; if you submit your cancellation after the withdrawal deadline but
before the departure, you will be eligible for a 50% refund of recoverable
fees. No refunds are possible after the program start date. An electronic mail message sent and acknowledged by EESA
will be sufficient notice under this section.

EESA
reserves the right to cancel, amend, or defer any program. In the event of
program cancellation, students will have a choice of taking a later program
session or a full refund of all program fees.
